I'm sharing my personal experience at CDA to help others make informed decisions about their dental…read morecare. I'm using an alias to protect my privacy since I'll be discussing detailed health information in this post. In January 2025, I began treatment at CDA and agreed to a full-mouth restoration from their recommendation, which cost me $40,520. I was told that this would provide a long-term solution to prevent grinding and give me a perfect smile. Although I had some initial reservations, the large number of 5-star reviews influenced my decision to go forward, hoping for the permanent solution to my grinding. However, my experience did not meet the expectations I was led to believe. In January, Dr. Barras removed all of my natural enamel at the direction of the director/dental assistant and the non-practicing dentist/owner, who create the treatment plans. In February, I underwent four extensive procedures when it should have been only one because the same canted crowns were placed multiple times. The office attributed this to the lab sending the wrong crowns, but I had to endure the discomfort each time. After the crowns were initially cemented, I experienced constant and severe pain, especially while eating and drinking. Over the course of several follow-up visits for pain, the director/dental assistant claimed that my pain was due to my bite even though my main symptom was temperature sensitivity, so she continued having the treating dentist do multiple bite adjustments with no resolution to my pain. Unsatisfied with the repetitious explanations yet unable to get resolutions to my pain, I sought second and third opinions from unaffiliated dental offices. The outside evaluations suggested that my ongoing pain was likely due to open margins from multiple crowns not being seated correctly, and that excess cement had been buried into my gums, which they said most likely contributed to the development of 8-10 cavities in a short period of time. CDA never disclosed these possible issues to me, even though X-rays had shown cracked crowns from my first permanent appointment in February. Due to my teeth decaying quickly (possibly from the excess cement) and the extreme pain from open margins, I was told I needed to have the entire work redone. This has caused me significant emotional distress and financial burden, as it will cost me more than double what I initially paid. I was also told by other professionals that a full-mouth restoration isn't always a permanent solution, as CDA had stated, meaning more costly and painful dental work may be necessary in the future after I'm done with the current restoration redo. Another challenge I faced with CDA was the difficulty in obtaining my full dental records. Despite several requests, the documents I received seemed incomplete and inconsistent with my recollection of my appointments. I noticed discrepancies in the records, such as additions that never occurred and exclusions of things that did, with many notes focusing on aesthetics, when most of my visits were related to pain management. I requested a refund multiple times, and although one was eventually offered, it came with conditions, including signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), releasing them from liability, and agreeing not to report my experience to the dental board. Given the issues with the work I received, I did not feel comfortable signing these releases. As a result, they informed me I could not have the refund unless I signed. I received a cease-and-desist letter from their attorney last month too when a review was posted about my experience which was later reported by the business for deletion. For that reason, I am leaving out a lot of details about my experience. Last week, the attorney verbally agreed to give me the refund if I signed an NDA without the liability release, which I said I would agree to, but then they sent another liability release which was never part of the verbal agreement. Ultimately, I encourage anyone considering major dental work to get multiple opinions and ask detailed questions from independent dentists about the necessity and long-term viability of the proposed plan. If you have already received care from this office and are experiencing complications, I highly recommend seeking an outside evaluation from a dentist unaffiliated with CDA. I hope my story encourages others to advocate for themselves. I did not have the luxury of reading reviews like this before choosing this business. I spent many sleepless nights in pain while reading the glowing reviews, wondering why my experience was so different. Now, after this long and painful road, I wonder if others have had similar experiences but were unable to speak out publicly. My experience with NDAs, reported reviews and a cease-and-desist letter has led me to believe that transparency and honest feedback about dental care are critical, and I hope this helps others navigate their choices more confidently.

I recently completed my smile transformation with porcelain veneers, and I couldn't be happier with…read morethe results. From the very first consultation to the final placement, the entire process was smooth, professional, and surprisingly comfortable. The team took the time to understand exactly what I wanted -- a natural, bright smile that still looked like me, just better. They matched the color and shape perfectly to fit my face, and the attention to detail was incredible. I was nervous about how they'd feel or if they'd look artificial, but they feel completely natural and look flawless. What I love most is how confident I feel now -- I can't stop smiling! Friends and family keep complimenting my teeth, and most people have no idea they're veneers (which is exactly what I wanted) If you're on the fence about getting porcelain veneers, I say go for it. It's one of the best investments I've ever made in myself!!

This review is for Dr. Kindra Dietrich, DMD who is an associate in Dr. Ron S. White's office --…read more A crown on a molar that I had for many years fractured one evening. Never happens at a convenient time, right? To make matters worse, the portion of the broken crown that remained on the tooth was jagged, affected my bite, and I was concerned that I might actually inhale a piece of it as more of the crown continued to erode. Early the next morning, I called Dr. White's office and was told that they "could work me in with his associate" at noon that same day. I took the appointment. When I arrived, I was somewhat at ease because I was already familiar with the office staff and dental assistants BUT this was going to be my first experience with the "associate" dentist. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive. When all was said and done, I had one of THE BEST experiences I have ever had at a dental office - and I've had many. As a result, I strongly recommend Dr. Kindra Dietrich to my family, friends and you. Here's why: Remember, I had been worked into her already packed schedule. After Dr. Dietrich introduced herself and began examining my broken crown, I quickly learned that she was focused on providing me with the best experience and dental care possible. Rather than requiring me to come back later in the day to get the process started, she insisted on working through her lunch hour so I wouldn't have to make a 50-minute return drive. Within an hour, I had received some treatment options, had a temporary crown in place and had an appointment to set the permanent crown the following week. It's been a couple of weeks since the initial visit. The second appointment went very smoothly and her work on the permanent crown is great. All is good! Based on my experience, I expect that Dr. Dietrich will: * Be guided by what is best and most convenient for YOU * Provide you with detailed information and treatment options * Keep you informed throughout the procedure * Be concerned about your comfort during the procedure * Be courteous and extremely competent * Have a pleasant chair-side manner * Provide a clean, comfortable office that is staffed with friendly and professional people.

Dr. Williamson operates a very smooth-running practice. Every staff interaction I had (front desk, nurses, techs) was excellent and you can tell there's just good teamwork going on here. I made a special request for my surgical operation and was super grateful that Dr. Williamson was willing to accommodate it. He and Sarah had excellent bedside manner during my operation - it went quick and painless. The recovery was (somewhat predictably) miserable for the first week. I had a few questions about the discomfort I was experiencing and was so appreciative of the staff that went out of their way to proactively check in on me and get answers. They even reached out to Dr. Williamson about one issue on his day off which they didn't have to do. Just had my post-op today follow-up today, a couple weeks later, and everything is in great shape. Despite the challenges in recovery so grateful to have this out of the way and gums that are good to go (as Dr. Williamson put it) for life! Though the office will still bill insurance for you, I could have saved some money working with an in-network provider. However, I think this operation in particular benefits from Dr. Williamson's wealth of experience - my understanding is there's a lot of nuances in sourcing and shaping graft tissue. Some things are worth spending on!

Dr. Smith refused, blamed me for the failure, and when questioned, I was asked to leave their office. I strongly do NOT recommend anyone be seen here - the business practices are questionable and they definitely do NOT put their patients first. Very disappointing. Very unprofessional.
